  • Totally agree. I have my days when I eat out, eat fried, and drink diet sodas. I also work my butt off in the gym, fit in work out sessions with a newborn and 4 year old, and try to be as active as possible while working from home. I'll probably never conform to strict anything, and I'm perfectly happy with that. :) Feel…

  • I gained 85 lbs with my first kid and became a spoiled stay-at-home mom. I ate because my outings became restaurant visits and nothing more, and didn't work out after baby because I was too focused on her to do anything for myself. Before my kid I was only ever 10-15 lbs overweight, a vegetarian, and extremely active…

  • It means a lot, and the meaning evolves for me as I grow. When I got it, it simply meant "goddess" (it's God/Allah in Arabic with Egyptian wings and the wedjat eye), but now I consider it my protection against the ills of humanity, and my aspirations to soar above typical thinking. Oddly enough, its in the tramp stamp…

  • This. Plus you get the added bonus of the "Mmm, she's dedicated" stares from the already fit guys at the gym. Total motivator when they're cute with bulging muscles.

  • You're right, except in this instance the swine would be those not cultured enough to respect other methods of losing weight, instead insisting on enforcing their OMFGYOUCANTLIVEON1200CALORIESYOUDUMMY attitude on those who see success from what they're doing. Great phrase, thanks for trying! :) And yes, it is indeed…

  • Why would you visit a thread you disagree with, of which you probably knew would be full of noobs, and try to encourage a debate that you'd more than likely lose? Just curious...oh wait, I know- fail troll is fail. :) I'm at 1250- feel free to add me!

  • My daughter is 4 and has lactose intolerance- she had it since she was a noob. She took soy formula (yea, tried bf for 2 months, didn't work), then soy milk, then almond milk. She's fit, strong, vibrant, and healthy. We do lots of omega-3's, fresh fruits and veggies, and get this- she LOVES cheese, so we give it to her in…

  • I do a cheat meal, but not a cheat day. I still try to stay within my calorie range. For me personally, cheat days lead to giving up and I'm not going there again. I actually consult MFP before I eat anything, and especially when I'm thinking of cheating. Most times it helps deter me from eating it, because the calories…

  • Love and totally agree with this. Society has set us up to consume to excess, yet loathe the fat that accumulates as a result, creating a money chain dedicated to binging and purging. Images of svelte images drives even thin people to strive for unrealistic expectations concerning their figure, and because they're dieting…

  • I have the same thing! Totally looking for ANYTHING to eat around 3:45-4:00pm and I eat dinner between 5-6pm. I have another hungry moment at around 9-10pm, but I refuse to eat after 7pm unless I had a late day. Thanks for the suggestions!

  • Thanks for your advice! Question- is working out more than an hour bad for you? I haven't been getting muscle fatigue, and I am sure to work all major muscle groups when I lift (I love lifting and resistance training, too) between the two workouts.
